Local Avocado @ Milk Fruit

Few years back my friend showed me a green color fruit.  She told me that is milk fruits which is a local avocado.  After that i have been looking around for this fruits but couldn't find it.  Until last weekend I went to the midnite market with my mom, i found it.  I ask the seller what fruit is that and she told me is milk fruit in mandarin.  I ask herr if it taste like avocado.  She replied she is not sure as she has not tasted it before.  I bought the smallest fruit among all the fruits in the basket.

When I cut it open it look exactly like avocado but the taste of that fruit is not as creamy as avocado.  Or maybe it was not really that ripe yet.  Overall I like it,  I will get another one and try to keep till it is really soft.

Tortoise for the Deity

When I was still a kid,  me and cousins always excited to see this tortoise.  This cute tortoise is only available during the deity birthday which fall on the lunar calendar 22/02.  My late grandmother will go to the temple early in the morning for prayer and offering.  She will bring home 18 pcs of tortoise for each of her grandchildren.  The tortoise is actually a plain steam bun. I remember that we use to play with it kind of rough.  As it became crippled by end of the day.  By the next day what left is only the body.
